LABILLBACKER Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 3 hours ago, 4BillsintheBurgh said: Seemed to me there were a lot of reports of running backs split wide, especially early in camp. I could see a lot of running the ball this year so it wouldn't suprise me if they kept an extra rb vs a wr. I don't see McCoy making it thru this most likely final season. If Wade has a couple more big plays maybe they expand their rb group? I've said for awhile that Josh needs 1 more year of development so seeing an emphasis on the running game is expected.
MJS Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 I see a lot of names that wouldn't be a real surprise in this thread. I'll go out on a limb and say that there will be NO surprise cuts. But there might be some surprise trades. Maybe Long or Feliciano get traded once Mitch is back to full strength. Maybe Foster. Maybe McCoy. 5 hours ago, BurpleBull said: Stephen Hauschka - That would be a surprise Shaq Lawson - He'd be traded, not cut Tyree Jackson - Not a surprise 1
Stenbar Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 I would be surprised to see Zay Jones cut, however I would not be surprised to see him dealt.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 How about a coach? Any chance a staff member is shown the door?

There is no 'first round' anymore. The roster must be down to 53 after the 4th preseason game. They got rid of the 'cut to 75' or whatever it was a couple years ago. I suspect you'll start to see the roster size begin to slowly dwindle after Friday's game.

Freddie's Dead Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) My surprise cut is Zay Jones. I've seen enough so I'm saying when. The drop on the goal line is huge. He just can't make the big play when needed. I put McKittrick ahead of him RIGHT NOW. All McKittrick does is make plays every time he gets the ball. Others list McKittrick as the surprise cut. I just hope they're wrong, because he's a better football player than Zay Jones ever was. I'll also add Bodork to my cut list. Carter looked just as good to me, and he hasn't tried to make a fake FG where none existed. Bodork should have been gone after that. Edited August 14, 2019 by Freddie's Dead

Logic Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Once Kroft and Knox come back healthy, SOMETHING's got to give at the tight end position. They're keeping Lee Smith and Tyler Kroft, based on what they paid them. They're keeping Knox, based on how high he was drafted. I doubt they risk putting Sweeney on the practice squad, with how well he has been playing in training camp. Smith Knox Kroft Sweeney Croom Are they really gonna keep 5 TEs? If not, Croom could be the odd man out. ESPECIALLY since some of the undrafted youngsters like Nate Becker have been showing really well.

If not, Croom could be the odd man out. ESPECIALLY since some of the undrafted youngsters like Nate Becker have been showing really well. I think you'll see Kroft on PUP to begin the year and the Bills will carry 4 TE's on the active 53, as they did last year (Smith, Knox, Croom, Sweeny). This will give them a chance to hold onto a young guy and not expose him to the first round of practice squad signings. Once they activate Kroft, they can then decide who the cut will be. This delay affords them a while longer to assess the back end depth at the position. 1

Someone else with a similar type player, looking to see if they can jump start a slow and disappointing career..That is the only way I can see it. Zay is an unreliable receiver who drops way too many passes. He needs to go one way or the other before he costs the Bills a game or two with an untimely drop. 2 hours ago, Logic said: Once Kroft and Knox come back healthy, SOMETHING's got to give at the tight end position.

I never liked him, and as more talent arrives his days will be numbered. 1
